CALENDAR ADVERTISING DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MILTON GUsTAvE LANGE, a citizen of the United States, and

resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Calendar Advertising Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This device is intended to be received upon and supported by the transmitter of a telephone and has for its principal objects, the provision of a calendar and advertising matter, together with surfaces adapted to receive memoranda or other data in a position where it will be most readily accessible.

My particular object is to provide such a device and support it in a manner that will make it more attractive and far more convenient for use.

I provide a rigid support for my device and also means tor retaining the device in a predetermined position and yet the construction is such that the device or certain parts thereof may be readily rotated so as to bring them out of the normal and into any other desirable location.

The construction of my device and its advantages will be fully set forth as the specification progresses. Y

The following is what I consider a good means of carr ing out my invention and the accompanylng drawing forms a part of the specification, in which- Figure 1 shows a simple device in operative position. Fig.2 shows a duplex construction having certain advantages. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 shows a modification of the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

Similar reference numerals indicate like parts in all the figures where they appear.

At 1, I have shown a portion of the casing of a'transmitter and at 2 a bead or pro jection from the cover of the transmitter. These parts are of ordinary construction and are fully understood; therefore require no description. Upon the transmitter I engage a clip which may be ofmetal or any other suitable material and which is made in the shape of a non-complete ring, a portion being omitted between the ends 3 and a of the clip. This clip is formed with a right angled bend or inwardly projectingfiange land under this flange, I may pro- Specification of Letters Patent.

vide a plurality of inward rojections 6. The clip is also provided with an angular recess 7 extending throughout the entire circumference of the clip and at a point away from the flange 5. Beyond the recess 7, the clip may continue inward to any desirable extent, but it is not necessary that it be carried beyond a distance sufiicient to obtain a fair bearing upon the casin of the transmitter. Within the clip and etween the flange 5 and projection 6, I place adisk of paper, celluloid. or any other desirable material upon which I may print a calendar and advertising matter as shownin Fig. 1, and it will be noted that the position of the recess 7 allows the disk 8 to present a flat surface. When a calendar and advertising matter are thus presented, it is obvious that certain useful results will be accomplished, but there are other features of my invention that are of equal or greater importance. These features are shown in the remaining figures.

In Fig. 2, two disks are placed within the clip and between the flange 5 and pro jection 6. The outer disk should be provided with an aperture 10 and upon the inner disk I produce a calendar and other matter, certain sections of which may be observed through the aperture 10, when the inner disk 11 is properly positioned. The outer disk 9 should be constructed of cellu-' loid or other similar material, but the inner disk may be of paper and I call attention to the fact that where a portion of the metallic clip is omitted between the ends 3 and 4, the periphery of the inner disk projects beyond the periphery of the outer disk. In this manner the inner disk may be rotated.

under the metallic'clip or ring, they are not entirely supported thereby. Each is presented with a central perforation throughwhich the mouth piece 1 of the transmitter may be partly passed and it is the mouth piece that supports the disks and allows the inner disk 11 to be rotated.

I have previously stated that a calendar may be printed upon the inner disk, but to add to the attractiveness and eiiiciency of my device, I prefer that a space be allowed for special notices which should be printed adjacent to the calendar, and I also prefer that the aperture 10 in the outer disk be observed When the calendar is in position for use.

The advantages of my device reside in'the construction which provides liberal space for memoranda and other notations, and

also in the fact that the device though readily attached is firmly supported in a flat easy reading position, and that even in a device so small liberal space is provided for such advertising matter or display matte? as may be desired;

In Fig; 4;, 1 indicate that the monthly section 15 may be removed as a Whole and a new section substituted. For some reasons and under some conditions this construction may be preferred. It is obvious,however,

that the calendar disk '11 may be removed when no longer desired or that the calendar disk 8 shown in Fig. 1 maybe removed and discarded when another disk is provided to be received into the metallic clip.

Further modifications may be made with,

in the scope of the appended claims Without departing from the principle or sacrificing the advantages of the invention.

Having carefully and fully described my invention, What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- I I 1. A device of the character described hav-- ing a resilient metallic member comprising a non-completed ring, a disk received and rotatable therein and having a number of defined spaces as and for the purpose set forth. 2. A device of the character described having a resilient metallic clip comprising a non-completed ring, adapted to be engaged upon the transmitterof a telephone, a disk retained therein and having an aperture and a second disk arranged interior to the first A I bined for joint operation as herein specified.
